HAUNTING! NASA James Webb Telescope Pillars of Creation photo is simply fantastic

[ad_1] NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has captured a haunting image of what it has dubbed as the Pillars of Creation. Don't be scared! NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has captured a haunting photo that reveals dust and structures out there in deep space that it has dubbed as the Pillars of Creation. Explaining the image, NASA on Friday said, "This is not an ethereal landscape of time-forgotten tombs. Nor are these soot-tinged fingers reaching out. These pillars, flush with gas and dust, enshroud stars that are slowly forming over many millennia. NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has snapped this eerie, extremely dusty view of the Pillars of Creation in mid-infrared light – showing us a new view of a familiar landscape." Also, answering the question why does mid-infrared light se...

NASA’s Webb Telescope takes star-filled portrait of pillars of creation

[ad_1] NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has captured highly detailed landscape the Pillars of Creation where new stars are forming. NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has captured a lush, highly detailed landscape the iconic Pillars of Creation where new stars are forming within dense clouds of gas and dust. The three-dimensional pillars look like majestic rock formations but are far more permeable. These columns are made up of cool interstellar gas and dust that appear at times semi-transparent in near-infrared light.Webb's new view of the Pillars of Creation, which were first made famous when imaged by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope in 1995, will help researchers revamp their models of star formation by identifying far more precise counts of newly formed stars, along with the quantit...
